Teacher’s Professional Development

The exercise of the teaching profession in Higher Education requires from the teacher much more than the simple mastery of the scientific contents taught.

In fact, teaching practice implies a whole set of competencies, generally known as Pedagogical Competencies, which relate, for example, to the ability to adapt scientific content to less and less homogeneous target audiences, to use educational technologies, to use new forms of pedagogical interaction and of learning assessment.

The Professional Development Office for Academic Staff was created in 2016. Its mission is to contribute to the quality of students' learning experiences.
